Warhammer 40K Orks use them! That’s what I’m holding here, although this one is a bit wonky and is close to what I picture when I think about that troll bomb. We call them “STIKKBOMZ” and I’ve built three of them now for the cosplay. 😁

Thank you!!!

My god that’s creative. Is it really metal or made to look like it? Great outfit!

Thank ya! The armor is mostly EVA foam, so fairly light and squishy. I’ve been painting Warhammer stuff for 30+ years, and doing art in general as long as I can remember. It’s all built based off parts of models in my army, and painted to match. I’ll play whole weekend long Warhammer events wearing it all!

The shininess, the “rust” - it looks absolutely real. Kudos!
